Paris (AFP) - Nine men have been
charged with drug trafficking after the British coastguard seized more
than two tonnes of cocaine off the east coast of Scotland, French and
British officials said on Sunday.
French
customs shared "specific information allowing two ships from the Royal
Navy and the British coastguards to board a tug 100 kilometres (60
miles) east of Scotland carrying a very large quantity of cocaine, more
than two tons" on Thursday, it said in a statement.


The
drugs were found when the HMS Somerset and Border Force cutter Valiant
intercepted the Hamal, a 35-metre tugboat registered in the Marshall
Islands and owned by a Ukrainian company.

That would have almost been enough to OD Stevie Nicks in her prime.

It's about 45 quid per gram, so that's hefty chunk of change, street value wise.

I remain unimpressed since they busted twenty tons in a warehouse outside LA -- and the price of cocaine on the street didn't change after they busted it.

I saw an episode on Drugs Inc. I think where the Mexican cartels are using large submersible containers and using a long tow line and towing them behind the boats this way if they are boarded and checked the boat will be clean. The tow lines are attached under the boat so the boarding parties cannot tell unless they search under the boat.
